Camarines Sur is the buzz word for foreigners who preferred to worship the sun and turn their snow white complexions into a tanned, golden brown skin in skimpy swimsuits and board shorts that complemented the sandy beaches rather than sit all day long chilling in the freezing winter breeze.
Camarines Sur is a paradise-like destination for most extreme sports enthusiasts and tourists favoring scenic and panoramic views of nature over indulging themselves in shopping and bargain hunting.

Pranjetto Hills is one of the very few resorts that are only a few hours away from Manila, offering a serene and relaxing leisure complex set upon the rolling hills of Tanay, Rizal. The resort, perhaps one of the best well-kept secrets in Tanay, is set in a simple, yet captivating location, sitting atop a hill, hence the name.
It features a carefully manicured landscape, highlighted by an Olympic-sized swimming pool, dotted by neatly arranged cottages nestled in lush carpet of green and surrounded by trees.

Come May, the Santacruzan is too familiar a sight to behold – debonair gentlemen and elegant ladies strutting their wares on the streets, robes of seemingly expensive garments worn by sexy ladies with a crown attached to their heads and suave princes holding a rainbow of arcs over their heads, and a mere soulful music invading homes as they pass by.
But beneath the array of colorful designs and matched-up beauties lie a bit of an old tale that is far too different from the Santacruzan one watches today. More than the pageantry, this event cast a religious secret.
